The rail union contract expires at the end of this year meaning the rail union workers can strike again sometime in 2025. Whoever wins the 2024 general election and becomes president will immediately have to deal with that possibility. If Biden is serious about how Trump is the biggest threat we face then promising to veto any attempts to force another contract onto the rail unions is a bargain.

Your move Joe. Are you willing to compromise with leftists or do you want to go down in history as the second establishment Democrat who lost to Donald Trump?

“Backing unions is an easy win!” said no one who has been paying attention to US politics since the fucking 80s.

The entire reason why the government can force both the companies and the unions to an agreement, under a law that has been extant for almost a century, is because the rail system is vital to every part of the US’s continued functioning.

Which is the bigger threat to US’s continued functioning? Donald Trump or a rail worker strike?
